Under the hood, the Acer Liquid Z520 operates on Android 4.4.2 KitKat, which was a popular version of Android upon the phone's release. It runs on a Mediatek MT6582M chipset, featuring a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 processor and a Mali-400MP2 GPU. This setup was adequate for basic tasks such as browsing, social media, and light gaming. The phone comes in two variants based on RAM and internal storage: one with 8GB storage and 1GB of RAM, and another with 16GB storage and 2GB of RAM. Both versions support memory expansion via a dedicated microSDHC slot, which is crucial for users looking to store more data or media files.
